Cool. What track record do they have, through financial crisis, world wars and natural disasters, that makes you believe this 100 year claim? And if they fail to deliver, what recourse do you have?

Personally, if Lloyd's of London offered an insured storage service, I might believe them, but I can't think of any other organization I would trust with a 100 year promise.

Depends on the level of trust you require. Family wealth or family photos - big difference. At least they state this as their objective, Dropbox does not. They also list on their website the kind of measures they have taken to try and achieve that objective. I'm sure Lloyd would happily insure your photos 100 years. I'm not sure you have the kind of money that Lloyd would ask for that service.
